A classic nautical expression traditionally used to suggest that it is time for a well-earned drink.

“The sun’s over the yardarm” refers to the point when the sun has risen high enough to appear above a ship’s horizontal yardarm. The phrase is often associated with the end of the morning watch and the long-standing maritime tradition of enjoying a tot of rum or other refreshment at the appropriate time.
